Festa Brava Hotel Lloret de Mar, Costa Brava

Advantages: Beautiful place, appeals to all ages
Disadvantages: Very few

...Our family visited the resort of Lloret de mar in the Costa Brava a few years ago now and I would totally recomend it to anyone. We visited in the month of May as we like it a little cooler, a little quieter but also still with a variety of things to do. During this month the average temperature is around 70 degrees C but whilst we were there it was a little hotter than this. Getting there: We flew from East Midlands airport to the main airport of Costa Brava which is Gerona. Most airports fly here so it shouldn't be a problem getting here from other parts of the country. The flying time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes and once landing there the transfere to Lloret de mar takes about 45 minutes. I think this is ideal if you are travelling as a family as we did as you can be in resort pretty quickly Accomodation: We... Read review

...to the old town at night to enjoy more traditional restaurants and bars and avoid the ticket touts. Man they're like vermin! After being stopped 3 times in the space of 30 seconds we devised a route through the back streets just so we could get to a late night supermarket on that side! The old town of Lloret is quiet pretty though, with narrow streets and plenty of shops. There are some nice Cliffside walks too. You can have both a romantic holiday or a clubbing holiday in lloret de mar - just try and position your hotel well (north-east/central lloret old town, quiet - south-west/Fennals area (another beach at Fennals) for more larger holiday complex and modern town/clubs at central-west part of town). Hope this helps! Need a new keyboard now :) We went 11-18th June 2006.... Read review
